Former GOP Senate candidate Jane Norton shared the stage with Ken Buck today — but only for a minute.

The former GOP Senate hopeful thanked her supporters and endorsed Buck for the U.S. Senate at the Arapahoe County Republican Men’s Club.

But the unity event — the first time the two primary foes appeared together since Aug. 10 — didn’t last long. She spoke for less than a minute and then bolted before the breakfast was over.

The Men’s Club, held weekly at Cool River Cafe, is Norton’s home turf since the former Lt. Gov. lives in the county. Her husband, Michael, was a long-time attendee and member.

Buck said the media has created a “myth” that the Republicans aren’t united.

“The fact that we don’t hold a unity rally … and sing ‘Kumbaya’ … doesn’t mean we’re not united,” Buck said, referring to a rally held by Democrats Michael Bennet and Andrew Romanoff and attended by Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine, among others, just days after the Senate primary. “We don’t need to reunify the Republican party, we are unified. Jane has been gracious.”

Former state Senate president John Andrews called Norton’s appearance artful.

“To get across a meaningful message in two minutes or less and yield the floor … is an art,” he said.
